The San Francisco Center for the Book presents: Superstition XIII, a juried show which invites artists to investigate superstition and the esoteric. Exploring the original shadowy art – the inky arts of the book – Superstition XIII will bring to light many of the dark arts near and dear to printers, binders, and book artists.
Exploring the myriad ways in which superstitions affect our lives, artists are encouraged to submit book works which speak to the mysterious, the alchemical, the arcane – both written and unwritten. Opening on Friday, September 13, 2013 at the SF Center for the Book, Superstition XIII will give viewers a glimpse into individual artistic interpretations of superstitions and what that means for the artists who created each work. The exhibit will run for six weeks and close on Hallowe’en: Thursday, October 31, 2013.
Superstition XIII will also cast an eye to superstitions through the ages. Esoterica and ephemera will be on display alongside contemporary artists’ books. A four-color exhibition catalog of the show will be available for purchase.
